Arriving in NXT last fall, Asuka has brought a new energy to the women's division and shown just what a force she can be in the squared circle, taking out opponents such as Emma and Dana Brooke with brutal precision and picking up wins by both submission and pinfall.
On good terms with Bayley after rescuing her and Carmella from a beatdown in February, her gaze is now firmly on the NXT Women's gold and she's put the Champ on notice.
Before being announced as the number one contender by William Regal, the pair joined forces to defeat Eva Marie and Nia Jax in tag team action.
Putting friendship aside, Bayley and Asuka will meet at TakeOver: Dallas on Friday, April 1, live on the WWE Network at 10pm ET/7pm PT.
